Why are they so long? it says its 4 inches longer but i would have thought it should be just a hair over 2 inches to fit the extra 3 paintballs could someone who owns one show what is looks like dissembled im kinda wondering where the extra space went.

They mentioned they used a tapered spring in order to ensure consistent pressure and feeding regardless of if you're using regular paint or FS. Depending on the amount of taper, I could see that requiring needing more length.

The extra space below is for the follower catch and the detent system for the opposing tube. Think of each discrete mag system as being like an L shaped Tetris block, rotated to it into a rectangle space.

And FYI the taper spring takes less length than a non-taper as coils can nest somewhat.
